Ross Taylor's full toss to get Harbhajan out after he brought up his ton.

AB de Villiers’s first duck in international cricket was a ball that bounced twice (or more times) delivered by Mohammad Ashraful
One of my earliest cricketing memories is a significant disagreement between my Dad's team and the opposition as to whether you could be caught off a wide. When I say this, this disputed decision was caught at point, not a nick. So surely when we look at worst deliveries, that one at Auckland Domain circa 1990 or so, with me unofficially scoring on a card cricket scorebook (which I later spilled Coke all over) surely counts

lmao
You can't be caught off a wide but that's because it's automatically not a wide if you hit it.
Hahaha it still mystifies me as to how many people in that game either didn't know or pretended not to know. I think even I knew at 7, but wasn't brave enough to ask.
I should ask my old man if he remembers it that way. Given I just recalled a game in another thread that was 60 overs longer than I thought it was, only 5 years ago, I should get it cleared up.

That's why it's so ridiculous
I remember as a kid I played one game in my local club senior's 3rds, it was mostly older blokes. I actually got a bowl (I can't bowl) and did ok because the standard was so poor but I was denied an lbw by the "umpire" (they didn't have an umpire but one of the batting team did it) because you "can't be lbw if the ball pitches outside off stump". Led to a bit of an argument as I was perplexed that everyone playing a game of cricket didn't know the basic lbw laws. This guy then went on to tell me that he'd "been an umpire for 20 years and he knew the rules".

I got into a massive argument as captain with an umpire once who called a no-ball because my bowler swapped from pace to spin in the middle of the over without telling him or the batsmen.
"He didn't tell you it was pace to begin with - he just said right arm over. What's the difference?!?!"
Nothing like the two arguments above though. I would've lost the plot and walked off I think.

no-balled for changing from pace to spin, that is next level

Decision stood as well.
If it cost us a wicket like the two above examples instead of just a run I genuinely think I would've pulled the entire team off and forfeit.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
I remember a juniors game where the other team didn't bring their own set of bails (each team had to bring a set) so the compromise was 1 bail at both ends on off and middle stump.
I was denied a wicket after bowling an offcutter that went between bat and pad and hit the top of leg stump. The reasoning being "the bail didn't come off" and "you couldn't have possibly hit leg stump anyway"
Was absolutely ****ing filthy for the rest of the game.

Now I have to ask with regards to international play, if someone did this at that level would it be fine per the laws? Or do you still have to specify the type of bowling as well?

It's fine. The umpire was wrong.

You never have to specify what type

Oh when I played cricket with school mates, usually the umpire would be one of the players from the batting team. Notoriously they'd give no ball for not declaring which side the bowler is going to bowl from. They'd not explain unless really asked and bowler would keep thinking they must have overstepped.
